Question 2. 2. TCOs 5 and 8. In 2005, a group of white students
organized a ghetto-themed party at one of the dorms at the
University of Chicago. They called it the "Straight Thuggin
Ghetto Party". Students were encouraged to wear baseball caps
sideways, sagging jeans, and gold chains. The music of 50 Cent
and Nelly was played while party-goers sipped beer from bottles
in paper sacks. All attendees were white.
A huge campus-wide flap over the party followed. University
administration, alarmed about race relations in a student
population that is overwhelmingly white, condemned the party
as an offensive parody of racial stereotypes of a certain segment
3. of the area population. The 20 or so students who planned the
party said it innocently had a 1990s theme.
University officials held open meetings with minority students
and staff in an effort to figure out ways to create programs that
would avoid similar incidents in the future.
Analyze the facts of this scenario critically using the following
approach:
a. explicitly use three (3) concepts from the textbook in your
analysis;
b. identify and very briefly describe each concept you use and
link it to specific evidence from the scenario;
c. within your group of three course concepts include at least
one (1) concept from Chapter 8 (Group Influences) and at least
one (1) concept from Chapter 9 (Prejudice: Disliking Others) in
your analysis.
